[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Rose is from Portland Rose Garden. It had an appeal of its own and when you viewed it from the side it just did not look that great.
So I decicded to take a handheld capture from the top.
You will notice the automatic EXIF data shows that I captured it at shutter speed 30/1s, and that too handheld. The advantage of going that low on the shutter speed was that I will get more ambient light in order to get those shades, shadows, and texture.
Now I did some HPP work. So why do this on such a beautiful rose?
The answer is that some time you may come accross a great rose (any subject for that matter) but the petals were broken due to strong winds and hence it did not look that good. Doing a HPP hels you to take that distraction away, may be make it look like more of an art work. And that exactly what I did here :)
Regards
David

Nice work David. You really filled up the frame on this. I like too that the central petal are lighter. There is some blurriness/softness though in the photo. I guess it is because of the fact that it was taken handheld. But, then, overall, it is a nice work. TFS.
